Rachael Eubanks, et al. v. Dennis O'Connor
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 22-1780 · judgment October 6, 2023
Before the decision, about 1.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel with five or more prior petitions here, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a Sixth Circuit decision below.
Questions presented
-
Where the State recovers abandoned property and later returns that property or its equivalent value to the former owner, does the former owner retain a constitutional right to accrued interest in that abandoned property?
-
Where neither this Court nor the Sixth Circuit had held that a former owner has a constitutional right to accrued interest on abandoned property, and two circuits and many state courts had held that a former owner lacks such a right, should the Sixth Circuit have affirmed the grant of qualified immunity where the State returned the value of abandoned property to the former owner without interest?
